Kitchen Utensils Shelf Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Four kitchen tools sitting on a shelf, each one a slightly different shade so they all stand out next to each other. Theres a rounded wooden spoon on the left in that warm amber colour, then a triangle-tipped icing spatula in burnt orange, then a wire whisk stitched in light grey with the loops clearly defined, then a wide offset spatula on the right in a soft blush pink. Both ends of the shelf are framed by little botanical clusters, daisy-type flowers with leaves and tiny filler blooms, all in a dark forest green. The shelf itself is a solid black horizontal bar and the handles of the tools drop below it in a second row so you can see both ends at once.

The colour spread across those 4 utensils is really what makes it. Amber to burnt orange to grey to blush reads like a warm autumn palette and the green florals anchor it without fighting with any of the tool colours. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with 7 thread colours and 6 colour changes, so its a mid-complexity stitch-out but nothing unusual.

Stitch it on linen, canvas or a sturdy cotton tea towel. Pale backgrounds let the pastel tool colours show properly. A customer picked the 7-inch for a housewarming apron last autumn and the blush spatula came out really cleanly against natural linen. Back the fabric with a firm woven stabiliser rather than tear-away so the shelf bar lays flat and doesnt pucker at the ends. Skip dark fabrics unless youre going for a dramatic contrast, the white whisk outlines disappear into anything below a mid-grey. Text me in the chat if the stitch-out isnt sitting right and ill have a look at it for you.
